City have created 12 big chances in their last 3 PL games but have managed to lose all 3 whilst scoring only 2 actual goals Their defence is volatile but their finishing efficiency recently has been very concerning

Regression the mean states that City will be fine but also because Arsenal can’t get any better defensively (Almost all their games are alr being won on low margins) It comes down to which team shows more improvement between City’s defence vs Arsenal’s attack

19 goals scored this season and only 3-4 goals at most came in settled possession 33 big chances conceded in 10 league games. (Overtakes Rosenior’s entire tenure) Averages less than 50% possession without implementing a disciplined OOP shape

Guler’s definitely been Madrid’s best player this season, he’s taken a monstrous leap into another level

Much more comfortable dropping deep and combining with others as well as having 16 BCC in 14 matches itl and in the UCL

And people still sit there and wonder why Chelsea haven’t won a title in 3,466 days
I’d rather Chelsea continue to be shit than have our "peak" years look like Arsenal’s

The irony of a Chelsea fan ridiculing Arsenal’s current style of play too, a truly hilarious fanbase.

Within the top 3-5 purest of clinical finishers that this sport has ever seen

Cristiano’s the superior overall striker of a football and a better overall goalscorer/player than Kane but he isn’t actually a better finisher than him. In the last 15-20 years, it’s only Messi that can definitively state his superiority as an overall finisher

LA EVOLUCIÓN TÁCTICA: EL DESBORDISMO El fútbol está cambiando y esta temporada está siendo el inicio de la transición. Equipos como PSG (rey de Europa), Como (sensación de Europa) y Brighton (revelación Premier) no es sorprendente que estén ahí todo viene por un cambio en el paradigma del fútbol liderado por ellos. Sus equipos practican un futbol con la teoría de la desaparición del posicionalismo, se acabó obligar al jugador a jugar en solo ciertas zonas o solo hacer ciertos movimientos por el orden tácticos. Estos técnicos han abrazado el desorden y lo han hecho suyo, han dado importancia a los movimientos sin balón organizados para generar espacios y ocuparlos con la figura del tercer hombre. Esto ya lo conocemos todos pero lo han llevado a tal punto q sus equipos una vez un jugador tiene balón realizan constantes movimientos en zona para que jugar libre actúe con naturalidad y sea capaz de tener cientos de opciones de pase. Patrones naturales donde los esquemas y posiciones se modifican según los registros de cada jugador potenciando su habilidad individual ya que eso según estos equipos sera la nueva idea mientras jugador posee la pelota. Un cambio novedoso que da infinitas variables con las q jugar y poder modificar. Lucho en su primer año ya lo dijo “ojalá tener una plantilla donde todos puedan jugar en todas las posiciones” Cesc con su como modifico y cambio roles a jugadores muy asentados en posiciones para darles nuevos contexto y movimientos más libres (Da cunha como ejemplo) y Hürzeler q está siendo el equipo mas bonito de ver en la premier por sus sistemas con acumulación arriba y tanta calidad ofensiva. El nuevo fútbol total lo dominan ellos y se llama Desbordismo

This quote is an epitomisation of KO Football, think about all of the different teams and play-styles you’ll be facing throughout the tournament. If you don’t have the ability to suffer, you’ll never be able to win it

Think about all of the UCL winners of recent years and their capabilities to adjust their play-style with ease when game-states required them to do so PSG in 2025 and 2026 have the ability to soak up pressure for a sustained period in matches Madrid in 22 and 24, the same.

How do you think City were able to finally get over the line in 2023? They found a way to SUFFER in periods of matches that enabled them to overcome their opponents
